Alumina is a cost-effective and widely used material for a wide range of industrial applications. IPS Ceramics have developed alumina tiles that are optimised for maximum wear and corrosion resistance. Alumina has a high density, diamond-like hardness with superior mechanical strength properties. This makes it the material of choice for a range of demanding applications. Suitable for Many Applications Alumina tiles are mainly used in three types of application. Larger, thin tiles are often used as support plates for sintering…
Technical Ceramics and Laboratory Research: Classic Materials Creating the Future
Posted by Tom Evans on 26-10-2020
Despite being known as a relatively old-fashioned material, ceramics are commonly used in âhigh-techâ experiments performed by laboratories, manufacturers and universities, facilitating the invention and construction of tomorrowâs technologies. How are they used and what makes them so useful to researchers? Thatâs what weâre here to look at. The most common ceramics used in laboratories are technical ceramics. The term âtechnical ceramicâ is used to describe a range of ceramic materials which have been designed to have a combination of…
